The agro-climatic conditions of Andaman and Nicobar Islands are good for oil palm cultivation. It is being cultivated in Little Andaman since 1975-76 but the project is still not viable. The situation may improve with intensive management by bringing additional area under plantations and by setting up a refining plant in the Islands. The paper deals with the problems and prospects of Red oil palm cultivation in Nicobar Islands.
